- Provide academic mentorship to graduate and undergraduate students, many of whom are first-generation Hispanic college students, and support their research and professional development in both academic and community contexts.
- Lead public-facing community engagement projects that apply digital humanities to local, regional, and transnational issues, fostering connections between scholarship and the broader community
